Cover Reveal: Insomnium by Zachary Bonelli

You may have read me mentioning Zachary Bonelli a lot recently. If you haven’t had the pleasure of reading his work, then please check out my review of his Science Fiction adventure Voyage Embarkation. He has a true talent for writing objective, yet compelling stories about cultures varied in politics, idioms and advancement. He’s one smart […]

Take a Break – Enjoy Some Comedy

Sometimes, we all need a break. Let our hair down, throw on something that we feel comfortable in and just relax. Especially writers, and I confess here too, as we tend to be a little too serious at times. Not only do we have our personal problems and to-do lists ricocheting inside our heads, we […]

My Writing Process Blog Tour!

Isn’t it great being friends with lots of other talented writers. I was kindly, and thoughtfully asked by the brilliantly quirky Jaimie Admans to take part in the My Writing Process Blog Tour. It’s a welcomed break from all the work I’ve been doing recently, although, a lot of it isn’t writng related, which is annoying. […]

Dreams Do Come True

It gives me a great sense of excitement, satisfaction and get up and do a little dance to announce that I’ve been signed by a publisher! I have already announced it over on my twitter and facebook pages, but it was really important for me to let things settle in a little before writing this […]

Pick Male Character’s Name – Here Lies Love

Hi everyone! If you remembered, I recently held an open competition for you to name one of the male characters in my upcoming novel, Here Lies Love. I felt it was a great way to engage with my readers, and I’m so grateful to everyone who took part. I received lots of suggestions, too many to […]

Unwoven (Tethers #2) by Jack Croxall – Book Review

Jack Croxall is a phenomenal storyteller, proven in his previous works. The first book in his Victorian era trilogy, Tethers, left us in suspense of what is to come and it seems like it has been an eternity, but finally, Unwoven is upon us. The author’s likeable and charismatic characters left a lasting impression in my mind […]

A Much Needed Break

Things haven’t been going well for me recently, both in myself and in my writing. Some may not believe it, but writing isn’t easy. It takes a lot of work, concentration and effort to create something remotely readable. As some of you may know, my current WIP, Here Lies Love is scheduled for release in April, […]

The Winter (Isaac the Fortunate) by A. Ka – Book Review

I was recommended this book based on the fact that I also enjoyed Yoyage: Embarkation by Zachary Bonelli. It’s an intriguing little novella, one that has full page illustrations from the author inside. From what I’ve read, this novella is also the first in a six-part series, which promises to expand the Spanish world it […]

Latest Interviews

Hi, everybody. I hope everyone is well and recovering from the festive season. I know, I know; it’s been well over a month since Christmas, but all that eating and indulging leaves us somewhat lethargic. I guess most people treat the new year as a fresh start, re-energised and full of enthusiasm. I was ill […]

The Black Petal – First Look

With my cover reveal of my latest book, Here Lies Love, it seems that my young-adult fantasy novel, The Black Petal has been shoved to the background. I desperately wanted it to be published the traditional way, which means you have to ‘shop’ it around to get noticed. I had worked on The Black Petal for many […]
